2017 KIA Niro 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · FN67 MHU

The 2017 Kia Niro presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 15 October 2025 at 80,586 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a clean sequence of annual passes from 2022 through 2024, indicating no escalating mechanical concerns across the recorded period. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,954 miles per year against the 80,586 recorded. The DVSA data shows steady year-on-year use: 49,019 miles on 17 October 2022, 58,920 on 12 October 2023, 68,798 on 15 October 2024, and 80,586 on 15 October 2025. No gaps or abrupt accumulation appear. The record is sparse but clean, with no advisories or noted consumable wear across any entry. One anomaly warrants scrutiny. The vehicle failed on 15 October 2025 at 80,584 miles yet passed minutes later at 80,586 with no defects logged on either certificate. This suggests a administrative or data-recording error at the testing station rather than a genuine mechanical fault. A buyer should obtain both test certificates and confirm the failure reason with DVSA before purchase. Given the absence of flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions issues, no specific structural or mechanical component shows a recurring fault trend. A pre-purchase inspection should still verify underbody condition, brake caliper operation, and tyre tread depth, as these items were never formally advised and may carry unseen wear despite the clean record.
